Another avenue is the idea of the space artist, his journal and his life using the tools available to him for the purposes of capturing and manipulating the heavens. Space is cold because it is shown to be in horror culture. Alien and hostile and traversed only by robots or men like robots, but if an artist like a conductor could orchestrate his own orbiting or wandering work then I think we could see space as not the metaphorical tomb or mausoleum blasting through the void to the next Earth, but as a sort of sea. I shall perhaps imagine that and compose a sort of notes from the space artist to help reconcile the role that not just artists of the far future will have but also normal people who will enter space will have.

I guess I strive to have my work be something that someone could differentiate from a cluttered storage parking lot or other everyday site we all see that cannot really be changed into art because some pseudo-artist says so and puts it into a gallery or museum or happens to convince some media mogul that it's important work and enter the ranks of the blaringly garish world of American Idol style substance. I'm perfectly happy, like Nietzsche says, to be misunderstood in this life only to be that more important to other rare people over time. Only the rare understand the rare, the masses will just misuse and misunderstand as they largely do with Nietzsche and others work. Of course it was easy for him to say that since he was taken care of financially by his pension as a retired professor, so we all have to make compromises for our immediate living needs.

Of course since Picasso, Duchamp and Warhol what we have now is logical, but art is not logical and moves every which way. I'm making a choice here that refutes the bunk that people who should know better, say those clerics of art we call gallerists and curators, accept any and all that come along calling themselves artists. The sophists as well were deemed philosophers but their message was as Plato/Socrates says is just telling the masses what they want to hear rather than use consistent methods to get to something that advances the medium overall. I by and large also think it's the professors fault as well, most couldn't see or produce art to save their lives and a sort of crackpotism got inserted into the university long ago, I suppose that's why most artists who matter don't teach it in the comfort and security of the university. Though advance is not really a good way to put it. I compare this to the idea of sports, without rules that are enforced we may as well just have a street fight to get the ball to where it needs to go, it's not for some concept called advancement, which can only be a measurable quantity. You can't measure a book, or a picture and that's a bonified misuse of language for you.
